Mormon polygamy effectively reduces women to mere commodities. Heber C. Kimball said, "I think no more of taking another wife than I do of buying a cow"
Anne Eliza Webb, one of Brigham Young's wives, wrote of her mother, "Polygamy...was the most hateful thing in the world to her, and she dreaded and abhorred it, but she was afraid to oppose it, lest she be found fighting against the Lord"
"The..motive for polygamy in Utah is economy. Servants are rare and costly; it is cheaper and more comfortable to marry them"
The oppression of women in Mormonism is so integral to the religion. Men and women cannot be equal in that church, for the basic tenets of Mormonism are so fraught with sexism that equality would change the religion beyond recognition.
Mormonism says that a woman's prepubescent son is more qualified to advise her than she is to advise him.
Mormon women are kept from having the priesthood because women are more spiritual than men, therefore, men need to have the priesthood to teach them how to be better people

Well for some pointers on the correctness of that statement, in Islam, anyone, despite sex, will be punished for adultery. Another thing you might find interesting, look in the bible under Corinthians and you'll find a statement that encourages women to cover their hair. In the Koran it just says MEN and woman should not reveal themselves. I'd go with Mormonism, because during the Council of Nicacea, they voted whether women had souls or not. Where as in islam, the prophet mohammad encouraged the men to treat women with respect.

islam doesnt hate or fear women
fyi it loves and respects and honors them more than any other religion
if u think women are respected and are not viewed as meat when they walk around naked, i think that u are not in the 21st century
in the Koran, it does not allow a man to even touch a woman
and im sure ud just love it for us not to b covered up,
yes, let us b modest but walk around with our breasts hanging low and our penesis flopping around
sounds like a beautiful picture
im sure u know so much about religion for u to b talking like this
-do not speak of something u do not understand, for u will only look like a fool

You understanding of the doctrines of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is quite faulty. Women do hold positions of importance within the Church. Furthermore, it's the men who can't get reach our idea of the highest reward without being married. A way is provided for women who don't marry in mortality, but if the man doesn't then he has lost his chance. Additionally, women are considered equal partners with their husbands when it comes to family relationships. You really should try actually talking to Latter-day Saints to find out what they actually believe rather than relying on the propaganda put out by our enemies.

Well, I can at least tell you that the information you have on Mormonism is inaccurate. Women do hold positions in the Church, and they can enter heaven without a husband. As for Islam, I do not know very much.

well, I tend to believe all mainstream organized religions treat women unfairly. Ever read the bible?
Keep in mind you have to take it all in context and consider when such things were written.
Nonetheless, I tend to believe that most Abrahamic religions (Judiasm, Islam and Christianity) are somewhat sexist. Hence, I'm Pagan.

Islam hates women and requires them to be covered because the men don't have self control. Any society that does not protect their women cannot long endure.
